Economics addresses how resources and capabilities can be utilized to provide goods and services to society. As such, the study of economics will be valuable to any student whose area of study involves issues of decision-making, resource allocation, or social welfare. Economics is at the root of understanding social problems, business decisions, government policy making, and global relations. As a course of study, it can lead to diverse career opportunities by equipping students with a robust understanding of market systems, major economic institutions, incentive structures, economic policy, and development.
